"Disciple Wang Ming, you're awake!"
Wang Ming was just inches away from drawing his weapon and launching an attack on the group, but before he could do anything, he saw Jiang Hong, Lei Ping, and Zhou Huixin pushing and shoving through the crowd to reach him.
"Sect Master, you're here... so I haven't been kidnapped?" Wang Ming asked genuinely, causing everyone's lips to twitch in disbelief.
"Of course not. Why would you think you'd been kidnapped?" Jiang Hong replied with an awkward cough.
"Honestly, seeing so many unfamiliar faces, I thought I had been kidnapped and they were after my organs or something. I was just a moment away from launching a sword technique," Wang Ming said.
It wasn't an exaggeration—evil cultivators were known to kidnap and kill others to harvest their organs, which could be used to make pills to help with breakthroughs.
The group surrounding him, as well as Jiang Hong, sweat-dropped upon hearing his explanation.
